Pretty Purple Centerpiece

I was in the grocery store the other day, as I am quite often — having three teenage boys and all — when a bunch of pretty purple carnations caught my eye.

I rarely see purple carnations in different color tones bunched together like that {unless I’m at the flower wholesaler}, so I grabbed them up and created a simple centerpiece using a $5.00 vase that I found at Marshall’s.

Pale lavender, lilac, aubergine and magenta make a very pretty palette for parties, weddings and showers.  Or, if you love purple, you may just want to buy a bunch of these carnations for yourself.  Note: Flowers are not just for special occasions.

If you can’t find purple carnations, you should be able to special order them at your local grocery store or florist.  You can also purchase them on-line from fiftyflowers.com.

    I love purple! We got a purple headboard for Christmas and I’m so excited to redo my bedroom. I keep going back and forth between purple and gray or purple and yellow.
